Behavioral parameters taken into account were frequency and duration of freezing (behavioral immobility, except for respiration movements) and number of defecations.
Cerebral activity using nine scalp electrodes (F3, F4, C3, C4, T3, T4, O1, O2, Cz), electrocardiography, and respiration movements were recorded simultaneously.
In all patients the following signals were recorded simultaneously: electrooculography (EOG), electrocardiography (ECG), electroencephalography (EEG), submental and anterior tibialis electromyography (EMG), oxygen saturation (SpO2), oronasal airflow, thoracic and abdominal respiration movements, snoring, and video monitoring.
Since they are thin and are manufactured from titanium, they are able to maintain flexibility with respiration movements, thereby limiting the risk of hardware failure secondary to iterative loading.
Localisation of maximum pain (retrosternal, left or right chest side), pain radiation (right arm, left arm, neck, back or epigastric), quality of pain (stabbing, pressure, burning or squeezing), pain aggravating and relieving factors (respiration, movements or rest), and additional symptoms (dyspnoea, nausea, vertigo, sweating) were asked.
In normal subjects, respiration dependent movement of visceral pleura on parietal pleura can be seen by ultrasound.
The performance of the pulse oximeter, an instrument which non-invasively measures oxygen saturation in blood, is influenced by a patient's respiration or movement.
Respiration causes movement and potential shape change in lung tumors that are not fully appreciated using conventional free-breathing CT models for radiotherapy planning.
